What do you think will evoke more of a response on an implicit association lexical decision task where subjects are primed with a stimulus, and then shown positive or negative words and judged on reaction time.
As it currently stands, I have the words "atheists" and "religious" as my primes. But I was just thinking that It would probably evoke more of a response if instead of "religious" I used "Christians"
I also would probably get clearer responses in the questions section after, for things like "Do you prefer Christians over atheists?" as opposed to "Do you prefer the religious over atheists?"
Any thoughts?
The reason I say quickly is because I need to have the program in tomorrow, and I'll have to be at the school early if I'm going to change things.
I just wanted to get some thoughts and see if I'm just being paranoid.
Regards,
Brian
